About The Company
SENKO Advanced Components design and manufacture precise, user-friendly, and application-focused fiber optic connectors that allow network operators to achieve the performance and reliability necessary to support the world's unquenchable demand for data. As you would expect from a Japanese company, precision is paramount to our offering, and we take pride in providing the global communications market with reliable and repeatable components that guarantee business-critical, error-free transmission. We understand the challenges that network operators face in building networks that are not just quick and easy to construct, but also easy to manage and maintain over the complete lifecycle of the network. For this reason, SENKO pays special attention in developing connectors that are easy to identify and access even in when placed in the densest and demanding of applications. The world demands high-performance connectivity ‘always and everywhere’. Our application-focused approach ensures that connectors are optimised for the environment whether it be inside a controlled data centre, or high up on a remote antenna mast. SENKO connectivity is driving next-generation applications that consume unparalleled amounts of data. Super-computing, AI and Big Data are just a few of the applications that demand data rates as high as 400G, 800G, 1,6TB or beyond. Our VSFF (Very Small Form Factor) connectivity is the first of its kind to deliver twice as many optical channels within the standard footprint of legacy transceivers. Whatever your connector requirements or application, SENKO is here to help you. We value every connection.
